3 ways mobile apps can help you move

Mobile apps can help you search for a home, plan your new space, stay organized and provide moving tips to help you along the way.

1. Before you move

Trulia Real Estate & Rentals

This highly-rated real estate app can be your guide to one of the most important moving tips: finding a house to buy, a place to rent, or browsing for local or out of state real estate information.

Errands To-Do List

This highly-rated organization app has earned positive reviews for its simple approach to recording and remembering important tasks. It could be the perfect way to record your moving checklist and list out potential moving companies.

First Home Checklist

Create a simple checklist of all the essential items you don’t want to forget when you move.

2. During your move

24me

A to-do list is helpful, but what do you do when you have several? Moving can be just that busy. 24me, the smart personal assistant, can put everything related to your moving schedule—from tasks, personal accounts and reminders—together in one, convenient platform.

1Weather

Planning ahead is one of the most important moving tips, and weather is only one of several unexpected moving delays. Use the app to track current conditions and forecasts.

3. After your move

Yelp!

After a long day of unpacking, hunger is bound to strike. Don’t make the mistake of picking a low-rated restaurant in your new neighborhood. Yelp! can make finding a great local spot in town easy with reviews, photos, and recommendations from all your new neighbors. Did you have a good experience with your move? Moving companies love a positive Yelp review.

Houzz Interior Design Ideas

Now that you have a new space to work with, why not discover new style ideas for decorating? With Houzz Interior Design, you have millions of photo ideas in the palm of your hand, ready to inspire your next bedroom or living room. Browse pictures by style, room, and location.

Dulux Visualizer

You’ve moved into the perfect home, but a splash of color here or there would make your home even better. Instead of collecting a mountain of color samples, Dulux Visualizer gives you a preview of how Dulux paint colors would look on your walls with just a tap of the screen.

These apps can alleviate some of your moving-related stress, but technology is no replacement for careful planning. Consider working with one of many professional moving companies, it can make the difference between a good and great move.
